Under the Holy Roman Empire, there were quite a few “Free Cities” in the general region of what we now consider Germany.
I like the idea of Philadelpha, Boston, San Francisco, etc. being free and independent cities, able to make up their own laws, and collecting their own taxes. The regions around those bastions of Progressivism can simply adhere to the Constitution.
But perhaps the Left would find this solution unworkable. Because they need us more than we need them.
“I like the idea of Philadelpha, Boston, San Francisco, etc. being free and independent cities, able to make up their own laws, and collecting their own taxes.”
It would be more than just those cities as many cities are far too liberal for America.
Their country would include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, San Jose, Austin, Jacksonville, Seattle, San Francisco and Portland.
Let those impoverished Democratic hell holes make it on their own.
